A Few of My Friends

I’m not a teacher but I love this podcast in that it opens your eyes and heart to the people you encounter everyday that come to work and put on a smile to get through the day, do their jobs, pour into the kids or work, but then are facing a battle/struggle at home that no one can imagine. These sorties have been inspiring to be brave, to not be afraid to try something new and that you aren’t alone. Great job Makenzy in sharing and creating this platform.

As a retired teacher and fellow human I have had struggles. As I age, I realize that we all have them. Having to be “on” in front of a classroom full of students makes us put on our happy face and we often don’t remove it when we are with others. Hearing the stories of other teachers helps me know I am not alone and my struggles are not unique. Makenzy and her colleagues do a great job sharing what it is like doing “teacher life” in the midst of being human.
